Leeuwin Estate Subheading

The art of fine wine

Leeuwin Estate was established in 1974 by Denis and Tricia Horgan in Margaret River, Western Australia, after legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, identified the site’s potential for premium wine production. The winery quickly gained international acclaim, particularly for its Art Series, which has been consistently rated among Australia’s finest wines since its inception. Under the continued family ownership and guidance of siblings Justin and Simone Horgan, Leeuwin Estate remains one of Margaret River’s most prestigious wineries, known for its exceptional wines, concert series, and art gallery featuring works by leading Australian contemporary artists.
